Maximum sum by adding numbers with same number of set bits in C++
Problem statement
Given an array of N numbers, the task is to find the maximum sum that can be obtained by adding numbers with the same number of set bits
Example
If input array is {2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 7} then output would be 14 −
Number of set bits in 2 is 1
Number of set bits in 5 is 2
Number of set bits in 8 is 1
Number of set bits in 9 is 2
Number of set bits in 10 is 2
Number of set bits in 7 is 3
Then sum of (5 + 9 + 10) is 24 whose number of set bits = 2
Algorithm
Traverse in the array and count the number of set bits for every element.
Initialize an array for 32 bits, assuming the number to have a maximum of 32 set bits.
Iterate in the array and add the array element to the position which indicates the number of set bits.
Traverse and find the maximum sum and return it.
Example
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int bitCount(int n){
int count = 0;
while (n) {
count++;
n = n & (n - 1);
}
return count;
}
int maxSum(int arr[], int n){
int bits[n];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
bits[i] = bitCount(arr[i]);
}
int sum[32] = { 0 };
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
sum[bits[i]] += arr[i];
}
int maximum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
maximum = max(sum[i], maximum);
}
return maximum;
}
int main(){
int arr[] = {2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 7};
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
cout << "Maximum sum = " << maxSum(arr, n) << endl;
return 0;
}Output
When you compile and execute above program. It generates following output −
Maximum sum = 24
